Paul Arcand I sent a PM.If you dont get it let me know

  

The truck 4bbl's were governed with matching distributor, they were a little rich and were governed at 3800rpm but the lowend torque from them was amazing.

Thanks Mark. I'm wanting to use a Ford/Autolight 1.08 on my 4 Bbl intake installation. And since I'm in the Northern latitudes, a working choke would be nice. Don't know if an electric choke conversion was or is offered for that carb?.

Paul

Hi Paul.They are called choke conversion kits or choke kits.Next time I see one i will let you know.They come up every so often for about $10.00 or so.They are actually shown in the Ford parts catalogue as a "service replacement" for the choke tube setup in the intake manifold which as we know rusts out after a period of time.There was one on my car when I got it although now with the later Holley with electric choke i dont need it.

  

Really? I didn't realize that ANY trucks had a 4 barrel carb.

Mark; Thanks, when looking for the kits, what are they called?. Choke stoves or ??.

Paul

If you have a manifold with no provision for the the heat tube just use a kit to install the stove in the exhaust manifold.This is what Ford did at some point as a service repair replacement.I see the kits on Ebay quite often.Just runs a heat tube in a sock  from the manifold up to the choke thermostat like the 60's 289-302 motors did.

  

Paul - I did not know that. Learned something new.



This must be a car version as it has a fitting for a choke tube on the crossover.

Marc: Is it a car version? I found out, the hard way, that (some?) truck versions don't have provision for choke heat..

Paul
